A viral video on the internet purported that Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai or Fazza as he is lovingly called unobtrusively settled the bill for all the customers at a restaurant when he went out recently.
The video, uploaded by local publication Lovin Dubai, shows a woman describing her shock encounter at Dubai Mall’s La Maison Ani, where Fazza had been lunching. “He covered the total bill,” she is quoted in the video, estimating it to be between AED 25,000 and AED 30,000 ($6,800 to $8,200). Lovin Dubai described the video: “Pays for everyone eating at a restaurant in Dubai! That’s our Crown Prince.”
